About the Artist

I am a papier mache folk artist with a love for all things vintage. My specialty is Halloween, and I create whimsical characters which are hand-sculpted, painted and often adorned with my illustrated party hats. My fanciful creations bring back sweet childhood memories of warm holiday traditions, and my intent is to spread smiles and joy through my art. Even though Halloween is my favorite subject matter, all seasons are a joy to create!
Currently, I design holiday and all-seasonal products for Primitives by Kathy & now most recently, Bethany Lowe Designs! I also create one of a kind art pieces, candy containers and other delights for my cherished collectors.
Thank you for stopping by!

Scenes from the Spring Fling!...

For those of you who would like a peek at this weekend's festive Spring Fling event here in Denver, I have a treat for you!...JP and I took lots of pictures to document the show and share with you. And how fortunate we were to have a great turnout of spring shoppers eager to see all the latest treasures. Thank you to all who marked your calendars and made a special trip to come by and see us. Luckily, the weather was a delight all weekend, and the warm sun, pouring through the historic Phipps Tennis Pavilion's glass ceiling, kept our cheeks rosy for hours on end. Enjoy the photos below! ~ Johanna
